Retief: The Giant Killer

Keith Laumer's classic diplomatic sci-fi hero gets a comic adaptation in this 1991 one-shot from Malibu. Writer Bruce Balfour and artist Darren Goodhart bring the sardonic CDT diplomat Retief to life, pitting him against a galactic crisis that only his unorthodox methods can solve. It's a brisk, faithful introduction to Laumer's beloved universe for readers who prefer their space opera with a sharp satirical edge.
